Interesting write up. I still can't decide if I like the widebody kit. There's no question that its absolutely sick, but I don't really find it very pretty. Too many bits and pieces and random angles I think.

It's definitely not pretty. I like it because it clearly says "function over form" and they accomplished their task without making it look BAD.
I also find it weird that used a MY 02? Not so much weird, as interesting I should say!

The front fenders look like someone sat on them.

The doors look way too set-back because of the widebody. The gap at the front of the door is not appealing at all.

In the parlance of British car shows: "Too many sticky-out bits."

It's clean and done well, the power mods are impressive. I just don't like the looks. From the front, it looks like that white cat people have in their avatars. "Meow"

yeah, and the best part is...if you want that kit you have to ship your car to Amuse, so they can put it on!!

I noticed Tommy's GF has the 'wide body' kit too.
